Did You Know: Glenn Braggs is married to Cindy Herron, an original member of the female R&B group En Vogue. Braggs was a huge dude. He once swung so hard at a pitch that the bat broke on his back on the follow-through. He also broke a bat over his knee after striking out.

Thoughts: Though Glenn’s tenure in Milwaukee ended before he got quasi-famous for his strength and bat-breaking, I always thought he never lived up to his full potential. If he could have only been a better hitter, and less of a fence swinger, he probably would have stuck around a little longer. I once met him in the parking lot of County Stadium in Milwaukee, got his autograph somewhere.
